rpm-hardened_malloc VS itpol

And also an unofficial packaged version of the GrapheneOS hardened memory allocator: https://gitlab.com/divested/rpm-hardened_malloc

Not long before malware becomes more prevalent on Linux now that more people are using it. But Linux is not some magic bullet that stops all malware, you have to practice good opsec and harden your environment too. How to do this is outside the scope of my comment. If you are concerned though there are these resources:

Between the Arch wiki on Security and this link alone, there's enough inspiration to harden some stuff.

Linux hardening checklist Workstation security checklist

for workstation hardening, check out -- https://github.com/lfit/itpol/blob/master/linux-workstation-security.md

now, if you want a hardened workstation you should check out this -- https://github.com/lfit/itpol/blob/master/linux-workstation-security.md -- mind you, some of the data on here, like browsers and extensions/etc are out-dated but the general premise is pretty solid.

The Linux workstation security checklist would be a better recommendation. While also not targeted at home users, it gives at least some priority levels.
